I got rejected by @Bain for a 2023 full-time consultant position but have been encouraged to check out their "ADvantage program" as well as their "Summer Assossiate" internship roles.

Is this a generic recommendation? What are my chances of getting into either of these? Any general thoughts?

It doesn't really matter student who somehow made it into the verified bowl. Keep networking. Keep building your resume. Apply if someone you network with tells you to apply. That's probably the real test.

Don't over-analyze. Keep on keeping on.

Don’t over analyse, but this is a generic “please don’t let this discourage you from applying for future opportunities” - easy to say, commits them to nothing. Apply but do so with the view that if they felt you were “ideal”, and were influential enough that their opinion mattered, they would have connected you directly to someone reviewing those applications. Stay hungry, keep hunting.

Very generic. Goes out to everybody.

Hi fishes, what are the chances of Pwc AC bangalore rescinding an offer given the current market condition?

With all the negativity in the world, this bowl is that one ray of sunshine I so desperately need, so thank you everyone for what you have done and what you’ll continue to do!

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?
